MyHeritage, a website providing genealogical records, will be teaming up with the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York and JewishGen (a Jewish genealogy site) to expand vastly its already unrivaled collection of Jewish family trees. The Jerusalem Post reports:

JewishGen’s records will now benefit from MyHeritage’s technology, which matches users and their families to potentially relevant records. Moreover, while JewishGen’s records have previously only been available in English, MyHeritage’s Global Name Translation Technology will help Jewish users who speak other languages to find the relevant record.

“The agreement between JewishGen and MyHeritage furthers our goal of expanding the availability of JewishGen’s valuable collection of historical records to genealogy researchers around the world,” says president and CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, Jack Kliger. “We are pleased that this agreement will also contribute to the expanding interest in Jewish genealogy.”
